Default The IF thread: if Player X becomes available, should Pats pursue him?

Jared Allen just turned 30. The Vikes are rebuilding cutting four players who were core players yesterday. It appears the white flag is up and rebuild the name of the game. With the inevitable signing of Mario Williams for somewhere near $18mm to $20mm per year and perhaps to our AFC East rival, we still seek that one consistent pass rusher other Teams must scheme for. Ponder is not ready to lead them to a playoff spot with GB, the Lions and the Beats getting stronger yesterday.

Allen is still elite at 30 and can be a Team leader. At 6'6" and 270 he is bigger than Carter and Anderson. Everyone was shocked at the money the Vikes paid for Allen two years ago. But in 2012 he gets $11,619,850, 2013: $14,280,612, and that seems fair if you see what Williams coming off an injury will get. Would you give one of our first rounders and a third for him? Allen is much younger than Carter but I think he and Carter as your DEs and Anderson as a rotation, would not be bad. Allen alone had more than both Anderson and Carter got together. He had 64 Tackles last year with 22 Sacks so he can set the edge a little.

There is the possibility you could extend Allen as well. Think he would not like a shot to play for the Pats?>

With the advent of the numbers yesterday, his number is not unreasonable.

Default The IF thread

Do the Pats take a shot of bringing him back? Redskins seem set at revamping their whole WR corps. Would be an affordable option if they decide to part ways with Ocho Cinco. Brady certainly appreciates him.

Not at that salary.

Isn't Gaffney like 100 now...it's not like he was a Speed guy. We NEED Speed not more slow guys we already have Welker.

Yes, given his cost in cap and trade, he is out of reach for the NEP org

Next question

He's 31. Is this a trick question?

He seems to be getting better with age.

Hes not an outside the hashes guy but Brady sure liked him.

BB wanted to keep him but Josh paid him more.

Hes better than Edelman.

The Patriots do a lousy job drafting wide receivers and their recent
free agent signings (Galloway, Holt, Ochocinco0 were also poor. At
least Gaffney was in the system.
